Solid Waste Trash Pickup to Change

The citizens asked…. and the city listened! Effective November 1, 2012:

OUR HEAVY TRASH PICKUP DAY IS CHANGING!

It will be the 1^st Wednesday of each month

These collections of tree waste and junk waste collection

will still occur in alternate months

(odd months for tree waste and even months for junk waste)

BUT ON THIS NEW HEAVY TRASH DAY

Please note that the collection schedule for regular garbage, yard waste trimmings and recycling WON’T change.

There are many benefits to these changes including better management of routes, budget savings in time and fuel as well as less confusion. Any questions? Check with Houston 3-1-1 by phone or on the site.

A Reminder about Parking in Houston

We have recently experienced an increase in illegal parking within our neighborhood. The most common infraction is illegally blocking the sidewalk. (City of Houston, APK-13 Blocking or parking on sidewalk- $40) And, many cars are parking in City of Houston “no parking” zones, out of the street, but still in the public right-of-way. There have been increased patrols by Parking Management. If you have been parking illegally, now would be a good time to find a legal place to park in your driveway or on the public street. Remember, don’t block the sidewalk. If your neighbor parks illegally, send them to this post as a gentle reminder. The reminder here will be better than any citation. Hopefully they will thank you for it!
